During my wee trip down to Brighton (here and here) I paid a visit to Beyond Retro. It was my first time in this particular store so I was excited to have a rummage and see what I might find! To my delight, I found this fab denim skirt. I’m a big fan of monochrome so I knew this piece would fit in nicely with the rest of my wardrobe. I love all the little details, like the beautiful buttons running down the sides.

My top is another vintage find, this time from Rokit. This too has cute little details; the different coloured sleeve cuffs and bejewelled 1 on the back. I really do J’adore Dior, especially when it looks this good!

Now, the weather that day was typically English for the middle of summer; bright but wet, so I was super happy I had the chance to wear my new hooded jacket from Matalan. It’s lightweight so perfect for these warmer days and I love the stripey interior!

To keep from getting too wet in the rain, we popped into Beyond Retro just off Brick Lane, where we met Tiny the cat. What a pleasure she was. We stopped for some lunch in a sweet little cafe and ventured to Spitalfields, taking in the sights of the colourful graffiti and old posters on the walls. In Spitalfields we came across a shop selling the cutest dresses at sample sale prices.I very quickly fell in love with Jones & Jones and I ended up buying a new dress for my friends wedding, which I’ll be showing you all very soon!

I’ve got a chockablock busy weekend coming up but hopefully I’ll have some time to add some more items to my eBay so be sure to check it out.
